*All my studies take place in Argentina, in San Luis Capital and in General Roca, Rio Negro.
CPA was a Pilot Project of advanced accelerated education that was designed to provide in a short amount of time with Art Teachers and Art Technicians, but as it was settled on a High School grounds, the age range of students from 13YO to adults.
The difficulty arrived as the first three generation of graduates where coming out of the institution with degrees that where unusable for an underage individual. By law one must be 21YO to become a class-room teacher.
In my personal case, I had the equivalent to three BA qualifications by the time I was 20YO.
So, the institute was closed and the project cancelled. Still, All the qualifications awarded by the institution are valid and endorsed by the Local and National Ministry of Education.
